Interview with PAUL LACOLLEY:

Your childhood ambition:

I always wanted to draw. My dad is a painter and my big brother used to draw as well. Then at some point I wanted to be Michael Jordan…

Something you treasure:

I treasure the fact that I get to work with my friends and that I can develop my own project at the same time. I feel very lucky.

Your worst habit:

I go to the toilets too much…

The aspect of your work that’s most important to you:

I like to tell myself stories when I draw. I think it’s the most important thing to me. It’s also maybe why there is so much details in my stuff.

Your first job:

I was a garbage man. Kinda liked it.

Someone whose work you highly recommend:

I have a lot of people I would want to recommend. My fellows from CRCR: Rémi Bastie, Nicolas Dehghani, Nicolas Pegon and Jeremy Pires. And also genius directors and illustrators Kévin Manach and Ugo Bienvenu.
